A look at sales for Darden's chains

Darden Restaurants Inc. said a key sales figure for its three major chains - Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouse - fell 1.9 percent for its fiscal fourth quarter. Revenue at stores open at least a year is a key metric because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed stores.

The company's smaller chains fared better.

Here's a breakdown of the figure at each of the chains:

Olive Garden - down 1.6 percent.

Red Lobster - down 3.9 percent.

LongHorn Steakhouse - up 3 percent.

The Capital Grille - up 2.8 percent.

Bahama Breeze - up 2.8 percent.

Seasons 52 - up 1.9 percent.

At the end of the quarter, the company had 792 Olive Garden locations, 704 Red Lobsters and 386 LongHorn Steakhouse locations. It also had 46 Capital Grille restaurants, 30 Bahama Breeze restaurants and 23 Seasons 52 restaurants.
